FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a projecting apparatus, and more particularly to a projecting apparatus having a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) module.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

A conventional projecting apparatus having a MEMS module includes a frame and a collimator lens that is usually fixed to the frame by adhesives through multi-point fixing. However, the adhesives have different amounts of shrinkage after solidification, which easily causes the collimator lens fixed by the adhesives to offset along different directions corresponding to the adhesives.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

In response to the above-referenced technical inadequacy, the present disclosure provides a projecting apparatus to effectively improve on the issues associated with conventional projecting apparatuses.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a projecting apparatus, which includes a frame, a light source module, at least one collimator lens, at least one adhesive, and a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) module. The frame includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion. The first frame portion has a carrier and a carrying bridge. An end of the carrying bridge is connected to the carrier, the frame has a processing slot using the carrying bridge as a bottom thereof, and the carrying bridge has at least one thru-hole that is in spatial communication with the processing slot. The second frame portion is connected to the carrier and another end of the carrying bridge of the first frame portion. The frame has a light channel that allows the first frame portion and the second frame portion to be in spatial communication with each other. The light source module is disposed on the carrier. The at least one collimator lens is located in the processing slot and corresponds in position to the light source module. The at least one adhesive corresponds in position to the at least one thru-hole. The at least one collimator lens is adhered and fixed to the carrying bridge through the at least one adhesive. The MEMS module is disposed on the second frame portion and is configured to transmit light that is emitted from the light source module and that travels through the light channel.

Therefore, the at least one collimator lens of the projecting apparatus in the present disclosure is adhered and fixed to the carrying bridge through the at least one adhesive, and based on a volume and a shrinkage direction of the at least one adhesive being predictable, an offset of the at least one adhesive caused by the shrinkage can be controlled for facilitating to increase an assembling precision of the at least one collimator lens.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the first frame portion 11 includes a carrier 111 and a carrying bridge 112. An end of the carrying bridge 112 is connected to the carrier 111, and another end of the carrying bridge 112 is connected to the second frame portion 12. The carrier 111 includes an end board 1111 that is arranged away from the second frame portion 12, a first seat 1112, and a second seat 1113. Each of the first seat 1112 and the second seat 1113 is connected to the end board 1111 and the second frame portion 12. The second frame portion 12 and the end board 1111 are respectively connected to the two ends of the carrying bridge 112, and the first seat 1112 and the second seat 1113 are located between the second frame portion 12 and the end board 1111.

Moreover, the frame 1 has a processing slot 14 using the carrying bridge 112 as a bottom thereof, and the first seat 1112 and the second seat 1113 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the processing slot 14. In other words, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, a bottom side of the frame 1 is configured to allow any one of the collimator lenses 3 to be inserted into the processing slot 14 along a straight direction for being arranged adjacent to the carrying bridge 112.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the carrying bridge 112 has a plurality of thru-holes 1121 that are in spatial communication with the processing slot 14.

In the present embodiment, a center of the bottom of any one of the receiving slots 1123 does not overlap with a center of the corresponding thru-hole 1121, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The second frame portion 12 includes a partition 121 that is connected to the first frame portion 11, two lateral boards 122 that are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the partition 121, and a transverse beam 123 that is arranged away from the partition 121 and that connects to the two lateral boards 122.

The two lateral boards 122 are respectively located at the user side S1 and the heat dissipating side S2, and each of the two lateral boards 122 has a guiding slot 1221 recessed in a portion thereof adjacent to the first frame portion 11.

Specifically, the two guiding slots 1221 correspond in position to each other and obliquely extend along a direction gradually away from the partition 121 or the first frame portion 11. Two ends of the transverse beam 123 are respectively connected to bottom corners of the two lateral boards 122 away from the first frame portion 11. In addition, inner sides of the two lateral boards 122 respectively have two retaining structures 1222 that face each other and are arranged adjacent to the transverse beam 123.

As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10, the light source module 2 is disposed on the carrier 111 (e.g., the first seat 1112) and defines a plurality of optical axes L. The light source module 2 includes a light controlling flexible board 21, a complex light emitter 22 that is disposed on the light controlling flexible board 21, and a heat sink 23 that is connected to the complex light emitter 22. Moreover, the complex light emitter 22 is disposed on the first frame portion 11 and defines the optical axes L, and the heat sink 23 is located at the heat dissipating side S2 of the frame 1, thereby facilitating to rapidly dissipate heat energy generated from the complex light emitter 22.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 12, the complex light emitter 22 includes a plurality of light emitting units 221 that respectively define the optical axes L, a plurality of signal pads 222 that are electrically coupled to the light emitting units 221, and at least one heat dissipating pad 223. The signal pads 222 of the complex light emitter 22 are assembled to the light controlling flexible board 21, so that the light controlling flexible board 21 is electrically coupled to the light emitting units 221 through the signal pads 222.

Moreover, the light controlling flexible board 21 has at least one accommodating hole 211. The heat sink 23 includes a flat portion 231 and at least one heat conductive portion 232 that protrudes from the flat portion 231. The flat portion 231 is fixed to (e.g., adhered to) the light controlling flexible board 21, and the at least one heat conductive portion 232 is connected to the at least one heat dissipating pad 223 by passing through the at least one accommodating hole 21, so that the heat energy generated from the complex light emitter 22 can be rapidly transmitted to the heat sink 23 directly through the at least one heat dissipating pad 223.

In the present embodiment, the at least one heat conductive portion 232 and a wall of the at least one accommodating hole 211 preferably have a gap G there-between, so that the heat energy received by the at least one heat conductive portion 232 can be rapidly transmitted to the flat portion 231. In other words, any heat dissipating component provided without any gap surrounding a heat conductive portion thereof is different from the heat sink 23 of the present embodiment.

It should be noted that the complex light emitter 22 in the present embodiment is a three-in-one emitter with a single chip type for reducing volume of the projecting apparatus 100, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the light source module 2 can include a light controlling flexible board 221 and a plurality of light emitting units 221 that are assembled to the light controlling flexible board 221 and that respectively define the optical axes L, in which the light emitting units 221 are not integrated in one chip and are separate from each other.

As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the collimator lenses 3 are located in the processing slot 14 of the frame 1 and correspond in position to the light source module 2 (e.g., the collimator lenses 3 are spaced apart from each other and are respectively located on the optical axes L). The collimator lenses 3 are arranged in the processing slot 14 by passing through the bottom side of the frame 1, so that the collimator lenses 3 can be arranged adjacent to the carrying bridge 112 and can respectively correspond in position to the thru-holes 1121.

Specifically, the collimator lenses 3 respectively face toward the channel walls 1122 of the carrying bridge 112, and each of the channel walls 1122 and the corresponding collimator lens 3 jointly define a capillary channel C being in spatial communication with the corresponding thru-hole 1121 (e.g., the capillary channel C is in a substantial semi-circular arc shape). In the present embodiment, each of the channel walls 1122 corresponds in shape to the corresponding collimator lens 3, so that the capillary channels C have a same width Wc, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the adhesives 4 are spaced apart from each other and respectively correspond in position to the thru-holes 1121, and each of the adhesives 4 is filled within one of the capillary channels C, so that each of the collimator lenses 3 can be adhered and fixed to the carrying bridge 112 through one of the adhesives 4. Specifically, the adhesives 4 are respectively arranged in the receiving slots 1123, and then each of the adhesives 4 gradually flows into the corresponding thru-hole 1121 by gravity and further fills into the corresponding capillary channel C by the capillary phenomenon.

Accordingly, the adhesives 4 can be controlled to have substantially the same volume and can have the same shrinkage direction (e.g., a direction toward the carrying bridge 112) when being solidified, such that an offset of each of the adhesives 4 caused by the shrinkage can be controlled for facilitating to increase an assembling precision of the corresponding collimator lens 3.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, the light combining lens 5 is disposed on the first frame portion 11 (e.g., the second seat 1113 of the carrier 111) and located on the optical axes L of the light source module 2. The collimator lenses 3 are located between the light source module 2 and the light combining lens 5. The light combining lens 5 defines a light combining path B passing through the light channel 13.

It should be noted that the light combining lens 5 in the present embodiment is a single one-piece structure, but the specific structure of the light combining lens 5 can be adjusted or changed according to design requirements. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the light combining lens 5 can include a plurality of lenses spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the light combining lens 5 can be omitted, and each of a quantity of the thru-holes 1121, a quantity of the collimator lens 3, and a quantity of the adhesives 4 can be at least one. Specifically, the at least one adhesive 4 corresponds in position to the at least one thru-hole 1121, and the at least one collimator lens 3 is located in the processing slot 14 and is adhered and fixed to the carrying bridge 112 through the at least one adhesive 4. Accordingly, the volume and the shrinkage direction of the at least one adhesive 4 are predictable, such that an offset of the at least one adhesive 4 caused by the shrinkage can be controlled for facilitating to increase an assembling precision of the at least one collimator lens 3.

The photodetector module 6 is disposed on the carrier 111 (e.g., the second seat 1113), and the light combining lens 5 is located between the photodetector module 6 and the collimator lenses 3. The photodetector module 6 is configured to receive light that is emitted from the light source module 2 and that travels through the light combining lens 5 and at least one of the collimator lenses 3. Specifically, the light controlling flexible board 21 is electrically coupled to the photodetector module 6, and the light controlling flexible board 21 is configured to adjust a lighting intensity of at least one of the light emitting units 221 according to the light received by the photodetector module 6, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In addition, the optical axes L and the light combining path B jointly define a light combining plane P1 (e.g., a cross-sectional plane shown in FIG. 9), and the MEMS module 7 is configured to reflect light, which travels along the light combining path B, at a light transmitting plane P2 (e.g., a cross-sectional plane shown in FIG. 14). In the present embodiment, the light combining plane P1 and the light transmitting plane P2 have an angle there-between that is within a range from 85 degrees to 95 degrees (e.g., the angle can be 90 degrees), so that the components of the projecting apparatus 100 can be properly arranged in the distribution space S of the frame 1 to effectively control the shape and volume of the projecting apparatus 100.

As shown in FIG. 9, the MEMS module 7 is disposed on the second frame portion 12 and is configured to transmit light that is emitted from the light source module 2 and that travels through the light channel 13 (or the light combining path B). As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 13, and FIG. 14, the MEMS module 7 includes a flexible circuit board 71, a first MEMS unit 72 and a second MEMS unit 73 that are both connected to the flexible circuit board 71, two first fixing colloids 74 that fix the first MEMS unit 72 onto the second frame portion 12, a second fixing colloid 75 that fixes the second MEMS unit 73 onto the second frame portion 12, and a reflector 76 that corresponds in position to the second MEMS unit 73. In addition, components of the MEMS module 7 can be further added or reduced according to design requirements and are not limited by the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the flexible circuit board 71 includes a main portion 711 and an extension portion 712 that is connected to the main portion 711. The main portion 711 covers an outer side of one of the two lateral boards 122 (e.g., the lateral board 122 located at the user side S1), and the extension portion 712 curvedly extends from the main portion 711 and is connected to the first MEMS unit 72 and the second MEMS unit 73.

Moreover, the first MEMS unit 72 is inserted into the guiding slots 1221 of the two lateral boards 122, the second MEMS unit 73 abuts against the two lateral boards 122 (e.g., the retaining structures 1222) and/or the transverse beam 123, so that the first MEMS unit 72 and the second MEMS unit 73 can have a predetermined angle α there-between by the second frame portion 12.

Accordingly, the MEMS module 7 in the present embodiment is provided by assembling the first MEMS unit 72 and the second MEMS unit 73 to the frame 1 having a higher forming dimension (e.g., the frame 1 can be formed in a molding manner), thereby precisely controlling the predetermined angle α between the first MEMS unit 72 and the second MEMS unit 73.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 13, the first MEMS unit 72 includes a first carrying board 721 and a first MEMS member 722 that is assembled to the first carrying board 721. Two lateral portions of the first carrying board 721 are respectively inserted into the guiding slots 1221 of the two lateral boards 122, and the two first fixing colloids 74 are respectively located in the guiding slots 1221 of the two lateral boards 122. In the MEMS module 7 of the present embodiment, each of the guiding slots 1221 of the two lateral boards 122 is connected to a corresponding portion of the first MEMS unit 72 (e.g., one of the two lateral portions of the first MEMS member 721) fixed therein through one of the two first fixing colloids 74. Moreover, the first MEMS member 722 is connected to the flexible circuit board 71 (e.g., a portion of the flexible circuit board 71 abuts against the first carrying board 721 and is electrically coupled to the first MEMS member 722).

The second MEMS unit 73 includes a second carrying board 731 and a second MEMS member 732 that is assembled to the second carrying board 731. The first carrying board 721 and the second carrying board 731 are spaced apart from each other, the second carrying board 731 abuts against the two lateral boards 122 (e.g., the retaining structures 1222) and/or the transverse beam 123, and the MEMS module 7 in the present embodiment uses the second fixing colloid 75 to fix (or adhere) the second MEMS unit 73 (e.g., the second carrying board 731) onto the transverse beam 123, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Moreover, the second MEMS member 732 is connected to the flexible circuit board 71 (e.g., another portion of the flexible circuit board 71 abuts against the second carrying board 731 and is electrically coupled to the second MEMS member 732).

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 14, a micro-mirror 7221 of the first MEMS member 722 and a micro-mirror 7321 of the second MEMS member 732 in the present embodiment can have the predetermined angle α there-between by using the first carrying board 721 and the second carrying board 731 to be in cooperation with the second frame portion 12.

It should be noted that the MEMS module 7 in the present embodiment is provided with the two first fixing colloids 74 and the second fixing colloid 75 to fix the first MEMS unit 72 and the second MEMS unit 73 onto the second frame portion 12, thereby further increasing precision of the predetermined angle α, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present disclosure not shown in the drawings, the first MEMS unit 72 and the second MEMS unit 73 can be fixed onto the second frame portion 12 in other manners (e.g., an engaging manner or a screwing manner).
